COMPLETE 3.0V AND 5.0V, ±15kV ESD-PROTECTED RS-232 SOLUTIONS REQUIRE NO EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
SUNNYVALE, CA—May 11, 1999—Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX3233E/MAX3235E, complete RS-232 dual transceivers with enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The MAX3233E/MAX3235E are +3.3V/+5V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces with automatic shutdown/wake-up features, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
Both devices have internal dual charge pumps requiring no external capacitors. They have a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, enabling true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +3.6V supply (MAX3233E) or from a +4.5V to +5.5V supply (MAX3235E). Both devices achieve a 1µA supply current using Maxim’s innovative AutoShutdown Plus™ feature, and data transmission at 250kbps is guaranteed.
The MAX3233E/MAX3235E are available in both the commercial (0°C to +70°C) and extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range, in 20-pin SO and DIP packages. Prices start from $3.59 (1000-up, FOB USA).
